European Affairs.
Lord Churchill has resigned his seat
in the British Cabinet, owing to disa-
greement with the Admiralty and War
Office. He considers the estimates of
Mr. w. H. Smith and Lord Hamilton
for those departments excessive, con-
sidering the state of foreign affairs. Mr..
W. II. Smith is to take his place as
leader of the Conservatives. Otherwise,
there will be no great changes in the
constitution of the Cabinet Lord Hart
ington has refused seat. The Radical
Wing alliance is still unbroken.

Parnell is convinced that the position OF
the Irish tenants is worse now than
when he introduced his anti-eviction
bill. That the plan of campaign has, as
asserted, procured extensive Attachments
in rents where everything else has
failed, he regards as improbable. He
thinks it remarkable that the Govern
ment should propose coercion bill, as
the entire absence of crime leaves no eX-
cuse for coercion. The suppression of
the Irish National League would inevita-
bly, result in the formation of secret So
cieties that would rival one another in
the commission of crimes, and thus
necessitate the landlords asking Parlia-
ment for further coercive powers ''The
present situation" says Parnell, ''points
to the probability of the Government
being obliged to introduce bill reducing
rents to the standard fixed by the recent
decisions of the Land Commissions
also admitting leaseholders to its bene-
fits. The Governments illegal method
of reducing rents through General Bull
er's action failed, except where assisted
by moonlighters or the plan of cam
paign.'"
